I've been doing errands with my mom today. First we returned movies to Redbox. Then we went to Phillips Toy Mart. I got a yo-yo. It's a Power Brain XP. It's mix of the Brain and Power Brain yo-yos. It has a switch on it that will change it from Auto to Off. Auto will make it automatically come back up and Off you have to manually make it come back up. I am trying to learn tricks with it. Although I can't because I can't get it to come back up in the tricks. I can't even do Around the World where you make it spin around and come back in your hand. I got a DVD to show me how. I also got a Unstoppa... OK. I can't tell you. That's a secret. If we ever play golf together, you'll find out.
Then we went to Target where I got a Chameleon Gamecube controller. There's an empty spot to the left of the Z button on regular Gamecube controllers, but on this controller they have a blank button in that empty spot. And below right of the blank button it says •TURBO. What does it do? I've never seen this button. What I am thinking is a rapid thing for Z or maybe it speeds up something. It's a mystery. By the way, I just kissed my controller. I love it.

I also found The Drunk Octopus twins there.
At Costco I got Legends of Bikini Bottom and my mom got me a hot dog for lunch. I was looking at the DVDs and I couldn't find my mom anywhere that she said she would be. I didn't get lost. I just couldn't find mom. I got upset and kind of sad. But I found her and we made a deal that if we ever get separated I should find someone that works at the place and tell them that I lost my mom. Or we should always agree to meet at the books in Costco if it's there.
I have decided that I want to take piano lessons. (Editor's note: Truman has asked me to type that he is now playing the piano from high notes to low notes to punctuate this statement.) It looks fun. I think I might be good at music.
My mom got me a new Spongebob weighted blanket. It's supposed to be more comfortable because it's weighted. It's for autism. We heard about it from a website. It's a weight and not a squeeze like I saw in Temple Grandin. Temple Grandin was a girl with autism who made herself a squeeze machine that was supposed to squeeze you like a hug. That works for me too, sometimes. It makes me feel calmer. My blanket makes me feel nice too.



Did you know that Carol's son, Charlie, is great with a yo-yo? Maybe he can show you some tricks sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you want to take piano lessons. I think you would be really good, but you have to practice. I took piano for nine years and loved it.
The Spongebob blanket sounds awesome!! Hope it will make you feel calmer all the time. You may have to take it to school with you. I think that would be a great help for you.
Love you, Grammy
